Regular neuromodulation modalities like spinal cord stimulation (SCS) or pain pump are invasive and affect a larger area.ObjectivesTo discuss the indications, technique, nuances, programming, and outcomes of peripheral neuromodulation.MethodsThe article reviews published literature and the author's own experience of over 500 cases of peripheral neuromodulation.Results And ConclusionPeripheral neuromodulation using peripheral nerve field stimulation (PNFS) is an effective, minimally invasive, targeted method of treatment. It is a relatively new modality in the field of neuromodulation but is used more often.
